    One word:

    NO!

    No app launcher - that's the most stupid oversight. Resource Hog. Slow. Incompatible with real Vista Sidebar gadgets - you must rely on author to implement what he thinks you need. No open API so that anyone can build gadgets. Doesn't play well with Windows Magnify.

    Pretty fluff - that's all. Google Sidebar and Desjktop Sidebar both eat this for breakfast and spit out the bones.

    ONE star.

    What a load of garbage. It's slow, incompatible with other utilities that change the screen like Microsoft Magnifier, has limited gafgets and in general is just a poorly written piece of crap.

    Desktop Sidebar blows the doors off this in terms of code quality, speed and versatility.

    It's not worth the download bytes and Broadband is cheap.

    ONE star for crap with no future.

    its a beautiful design but it has 2 pieces of spyware in it, it doesnt effect the performance but it seems to be spyware that collects data so if u have something important on your pc, then dont use it.

    in spite of it's a good ui enhancement software, there are some annoyances. for instance it cannot remember which skin you choose for the clock. even you choose different skin from the default one, it shows the default skin when you restart it. and it's a memory-eater monster.
